Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Queentoshi]

Milan lost two points to Salernitana, the last team in the rankings. With this loss, AC Milan should completely forget about the leadership,

Why are teams at the bottom of the table difficult to play by big teams. Do they look down on them and expect an easy win? or these teams try to proof themselves against big teams. A draw is not a good result for AC Milan whose hopes would have been to catch up and maintain their distance from the first position. They almost lost the game if not for the lucky goal in the 90th minute. With this unexpected drop in points to a team at the bottom of the table AC Milan find themselves drifting away from the first position. This is a victory for Salernitana.

I think in the Champions League Napoli has all the chances to make it to the next round. The only reason I am saying this is because Barcelona has the same issues and are so much worse than they normally play. They did play against each other in the Europa League in 2022 and those two games ended 4-2 and 1-1 for Barcelona. But this time I think Barcelona is even worse. If Napoli plays a good first leg at home, everything is possible.

Napoli were strong in the last season but they no longer maintain it in this season. They have enough good players to compete fairly and equally with Barcelona but chances for Napoli is not too big. It is just like 50/50 chance for them to beat Barcelona at the end in an aggregated result.

If attacking players of Napoli like Kravatskhelia, Osimhen have excellent matches or just some magnificent moments, they can win over Barcelona. Generally they don't usually have such good performances in this season so suddenly have such in two important matches will be big surprise from Napoli.

You said their chances are not too big but estimate their chances could be 50/50. Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me as being at 50/50 against Barcelona is ok.

That's the crux of the matter, the players still possess enough quality to compete in the league, but now everyone believes it is all about Spalletti who left the club. But the players also have responsibility. It can't be just the coach and that's it. Because they played worse when Spalletti was still there last season and that is often forgotten.

Milan lost two points to Salernitana, the last team in the rankings. With this loss, AC Milan should completely forget about the leadership, there is no leadership anymore, they can only try to maintain their current position. Inter is the team with the most points and playing the best in Seria. I don't think it would be otherwise. Salernitana had many shots on target, they really pushed the Milan goal, they deserved more than a point. The host Salernitana almost beat Milan until the 90th minute.

Ac Milan were able to pick a point from Salernitana in this game, that was ridiculous. This team have one victory, 10 losses and 5 draws before this match. They scored a total of 9 goals including the two that they were able to score in today's game.
Overall, Ac Milan were disappointing and they risk to see the gap between them and Inter passing 10 points and 7 points with Juventus. Losing the scudetto isn't their only problem since the other teams behind them are getting closer and they could pick at some point the four Champions League spots.

[TelolettOm]

Napoli no longer has any hope of winning the Serie A title this season and Napoli will also have great difficulty if they try to compete for the title by competing with Inter Milan and Juventus.
Indeed, Napoli only hope this season is to reach the top 4 positions and get UCL ticket, that will be much better in terms of achievements next season.
But there is also no guarantee that Napoli can survive further in the UCL if they have the opportunity to play next season.

Exactly. Napoli already wasted the chance to compete for the title of Serie A this season. The point gap is too large, it is almost impossible to catch the Inter Milan and Juventus. But it is true that Napoli still has a chance to play in UCL or Europa League for the next season. Although Napoli is in the 6th place, but I believe they can beat Fiorentina and Bologna.

Inter Milan and Juventus are rivals that other teams in Setie A really cannot compete with and these two team are indeed the strongest candidates in the race for the title.
But Juventus will be far superior because they can really focus on fighting for the Serie A title, in contrast to Inter Milan who also have to focus on the UCL.
This is good opportunity for Juventus to take advantage of the situation and condition of Inter Milan players who may have slightly unresolved performance.

Yes, for this season, the rivals for the title competition is Inter Milan and Juventus. No doubt that they are very dominant in Serie A, they are the most teams that can play consistently. AC Milan looks not in a good condition to compete for the title. So, I'm not sure with AC Milan, their squad is also not as strong as the previous season.

[Slow death]

When I see Roma situation in the table



I see that Mourinho will hardly renew his contract with Roma, I honestly don't see Roma evolving even though they have good players, they are worse than Fiorentina, they are worse than Bologna, they are worse than Atalanta. It's difficult to understand why Roma has had such low results despite having a good squad. Roma's attack has been very inefficient in many games and Roma's defense is a complete disaster. If there are no major changes, then Rome will be doomed to failure. I don't know what Mourinho has thought to change this current scenario, but Roma is not doing well. despite having some important players injured, they should be able to at least get into the top 4

I say this, because this season Milan is a disaster, Napoli too, so at least Roma could be in the top 4 fighting for a better position. but roma is very far from the level of inter, juventus, napoli, milan, fiorentina, bologna. which is very sad, I don't know if it's not Mourinho's fault for not getting good results. But it seems to me that if things don't change, then eventually the Roma management will have no choice in letting go of Mourinho. Because I don't see what reasons Roma management would have to keep Mourinho for more seasons


salernitana 2 - 2 milan

 

milan this season has been a dexterous player, in this game for example they were very close to losing the game, it would have been a very important victory if salernitana had managed to win that game, last season salernitana managed to escape the relegation zone, but for As I see it this season, they won't be able to escape relegation, the level of many teams, which last season wasn't great and this season is great, is too high and Salernitana doesn't have the conditions to compete against many teams. Milan will also need to make signings if they want to win Serie A

[shogun47]

One quick goal from Matteo Guendouzi slightly changed the way Lazio played I mean, they just need to maintain their lead and try to play more defensively that's why Lazio wasn't too aggressive in this match. On the other hand, Empoli as the home team certainly wants to try to catch up so they played all out and kept pressing but unfortunately Lazio knows how to anticipate it. This is a good win for Lazio they want to get out of a bad session and compete in the European League and Conference zones, it just takes a few more points to get there. Now the elite teams in Serie A are in the top 10 they had reached the first safe zone then hunt for their respective places in European competitions but some of them will fail Serie A only provides limited places.

Regarding Salernitana vs AC Milan yeah it's a bit disappointing for Milan fans because AC Milan is considered to have wasted an opportunity against a weak team like Salernitana and Milan should be able to win easily because they are at a better level but this kind of thing is normal in Serie A especially Milan is not one of the candidates for the title so they will play without ambition except to stay in the champions league zone. On the other hand, Salernitana was a little relieved because they got 1 point and they could still continue their struggle to get out of relegation.

The elite teams are in the top 10, that's true but I didn't really see anyone of them being severely in danger. Lazio had huge struggles this season, but I wouldn't be afraid if they could end up fighting against relegation. But they are not in good shape and will have a hard time to climb up the ranks.

AC Milan isn't having their best days. This is again points wasted as the can't make use of their dominance and turn it into three points after they started so well into the season. The efficiency is gone.

[Richbased]

On this Saturday there is a really attracting game between Roma and Napoli. The game is in Rome so it can be seen as an advantage for Roma. However I wouldn't trust Roma much for this game honestly. Because I don't like their recent performances in the league. Probably Mourinho will choose a cautious game plan against Napoli.

This is the classic Mourinho in big games in the end.    Napoli are even better at scoring now as Osimhen is back. He will be their key player against Roma surely. I think both teams will score and Napoli will manage to win the game by a gap of one goal.

Jose Mourinho is a manager that likes competition so the match between Roma and Napoli will be very interesting. Currently, Napoli is ahead of Roma in the league table as they occupy the 6th position with 27 points while Roma stand in 8th position in the league table with 25 points so considering the fact that Roma is playing at their home ground will give them more advantage to win Napoli and Napoli will also want to impress their fans after they lost their Coppa Italia match against Frosinone during the mid-week so definitely, this game between this both clubs is really difficult to predict.

It seems that it is difficult for Napoli to defend their title so it is possible that this season they will fail to win the title again and let Juventus and Inter Milan fight for the title this season, Napoli must be able to correct all the mistakes that have been made in several matches with bad results and it's not satisfying for their fans, changing several coaches still doesn't make any better changes, I think Napoli should be able to focus on maintaining their position in the top four, it seems that is their last hope apart from winning the league this season

Since Luciano Spalletti decided to leave Napoli, I no longer believe in how good Napoli's competition in Serie A will be in defending its title. Napoli are having difficulty maintaining their good performance like last season and they feel forced to change coaches twice this season by firing Rudi Garcia and appointing Walter Mazzarri as head coach.

Currently, Napoli is struggling in 5th position with the same points as Fiorentina. Napoli is having difficulty breaking into the Champions League zone because the stability of their performance is the most obvious problem at the moment, of course because they tend to lose more points. Until week 16, Napoli had suffered 5 defeats and 3 draws in 16 matches. So in my opinion, Napoli will not defend their title and will probably just struggle to qualify for the Champions League next season.

It could be said that Spalleti is a more suitable coach for Napoli but unfortunately Spalleti couldn't stay at Napoli for a long time. Maybe if Spalleti was still at the Napoli club it seems like Napoli is still in stable performance even though it won't be easy to defend the title but at least Napoli might not experience a decline like this season and may not experience so many difficulties because Spalleti can create a strategy that suits the Napoli players. However, unfortunately Spalleti left and the coach who replaced him has not been able to provide significant improvements.

Yes, currently Napoli is struggling to occupy the top 4 position so that next season Napoli can compete again in the Champions League but it seems that Napoli is having difficulty reaching the top 4 with its unstable performance while Fiorentina and Bologna are also try hard to enter the same ranking, we'll see just whether Napoli can occupy the top 4 position with his current condition, maybe if Napoli is able to improve the team's performance and appear more impressive, Napoli still has a chance to occupy the top 4 position this season.

[Mayor of ogba]

The 2 matches are worth waiting for, any team that will win can take places in Top 4 and 5 because the 4 team points are close. I predict each team will score each other and I will consider betting the both teams scoring goals, besides that total goals also attracted my attention over 2.5 goals on parlay bets are not bad. Oh yes Juventus are also predicted to win because in the last match Juventus only played a draw while Juventus needed points to stay close to Inter Milan these 3 matches will be included in my schedule to watch and bets.

For Atalanta it will be quite difficult to occupy the top four positions even though Atalanta can win the match against Bologna. Because Atalanta is still hampered by Fiorentina and Napoli if one of them can also win this week's match, but for Bologna itself it is quite possible to stay in the top four again if they are able to win at home against Atalanta. Because when the competition is getting fiercer like it is now, even one point will still be very meaningful for each team because it will always determine where they are.

The Italian championship is very excessively competitive, the sport is felt at a national level so everyone talks about it and everyone watches it, providing money to the teams and television stations.
In this context all the teams clash and fight to the last man to win. It's not easy to keep up, I don't think my Atalanta is capable of finishing 4-5

I agree with you that Italy's Serie A League is competitive now, unlike before when Juventus used to win the Italy Serie A title three times in a row, with no club challenging them for the Serie A title. For the past years, the Serie A title has been won by different clubs in the Serie A League. There is a possibility that Atalanta will not finish from 4-5 in the Serie A because so many clubs are competing to finish in that position.

salernitana 2 - 2 milan

 

milan this season has been a dexterous player, in this game for example they were very close to losing the game, it would have been a very important victory if salernitana had managed to win that game, last season salernitana managed to escape the relegation zone, but for As I see it this season, they won't be able to escape relegation, the level of many teams, which last season wasn't great and this season is great, is too high and Salernitana doesn't have the conditions to compete against many teams. Milan will also need to make signings if they want to win Serie A

yesterday I said about my concerns about this match that even though Selernitana is only a small team that is in the lower relegation zone, it always manages to make it difficult for the top teams to beat it and Milan, one of the top teams, failed to beat Selernitana even though logically it should have been able to win the match and get 3 additional points to be able to win the series A title but the fact is that Milan defense is very weak and can even be broken down by a team from the relegation zone.
I completely agree with you that Milan must get new players to improve weak lines such as defenders who I think are a little bad and this must be done if they really want to catch points from Juventus and Inter.

I'm sure many bettors failed in this match because they definitely thought Milan would win and placed bets on the handicap and it turned out that Selernitana was surprisingly able to hold a draw with a score of 2-2 and this result was impressive for Selernitana but for Milan it was very embarrassing.
and the strange thing is that Selernitana can always be an obstacle for popular teams to beat it, but why can't they get out of the relegation zone? Or maybe the draw or win that Selernitana got was just luck?

[borovichok]

I agree with you that Italy's Serie A League is competitive now, unlike before when Juventus used to win the Italy Serie A title three times in a row, with no club challenging them for the Serie A title. For the past years, the Serie A title has been won by different clubs in the Serie A League. There is a possibility that Atalanta will not finish from 4-5 in the Serie A because so many clubs are competing to finish in that position.

I can relaxed and watch Italian football because there's presence of top competition and a regular club that's coming up don't have any slim chances of earning a significant spot on the table. It's surprising to see how everything changed over the past years and we will witnessed more solid results in the coming years. This is a new era and most competitive clubs have the strength to pull tough competitive run for the scudetto this season. The favorites to win are Inter Milan and Juventus because they're both ranked first and second with stellar performance accompanied.

[asriloni]

Milan lost two points to Salernitana, the last team in the rankings. With this loss, AC Milan should completely forget about the leadership, there is no leadership anymore, they can only try to maintain their current position. Inter is the team with the most points and playing the best in Seria. I don't think it would be otherwise. Salernitana had many shots on target, they really pushed the Milan goal, they deserved more than a point. The host Salernitana almost beat Milan until the 90th minute.

It's terrible to watch!. Acmilan is once again missing another opportunity and it may have the gaps toward intermilan and juventus to be even bigger than before. Milan played like a mediocre team especially for its defenders. This sucks to see that how milan is playing like it has no defensive line.
Salernitana was able threatening milan's goal keeper many times and this is horrific to see milan is declining a lot on its performance again salernitana as the worst club in the serie a. Im also concerning about how milan can also equalize the goal on additional time too.
Pioli needs to replace a lot of its defenders as they were not able in keeping their defensive line properly. No chance for milan to enter for the title race if it will still continue to play shitty ball. It's a very embarassing result to get draw against a club that is now at the bottom place of serie a.
Salernitana will obviously relegated soon and milan can't beat this. It's crazy how milan is also showing how stupid the club is. It's a common thing to get draw in the football but it's not against the worst club in the serie a.

[temple]

I think Inter Milan getting knocked out from the Coppa Italia is the shocker of the week along with Napoli. It was a home game for them and yet they couldn't make it. I am sure that anyone who bet on Napoli + Inter Milan both getting knocked out from the Coppa Italia got some nice money in return. That's two of the biggest favorites losing their home games. That's crazy, but Inter Milan isn't known for crashing after games like these. I think they will quickly be rehabilitated and win their games in Serie A.

Maybe these two teams don't want to continue in the Coppa Italia and prefer to focus on the big competition. Napoli's performance has also dropped very drastically because the coach who made them champions has been replaced by the coach who is currently in office, so Napoli may have another strategy that always lost and looked weak again. Meanwhile, Inter Milan should have been able to win the match against Bologna, but it was too late because at this time Inter Milan's defense was weak and Bologna took advantage of the opportunity to seek victory with a kick from Sam Beukema and Dan Ndoye which brought victory to Bologna in that match.

This post made me laugh! Thanks for the irony... Or wait, is it possible that you are seriously saying they got beaten on purpose because they did not want to continue to play for the Coppa Italia trophy? Then please do me a favor and provide at least some tiny evidence that this could be true. People can talk lots of stuff all day long, but I would appreciate if you provide a tiny little bit of evidence to backup your claim. It could be an interview with the coach or some player saying that they wanted to quit the competition anyway.

[iBaba]

The elite teams are in the top 10, that's true but I didn't really see anyone of them being severely in danger. Lazio had huge struggles this season, but I wouldn't be afraid if they could end up fighting against relegation. But they are not in good shape and will have a hard time to climb up the ranks.

AC Milan isn't having their best days. This is again points wasted as the can't make use of their dominance and turn it into three points after they started so well into the season. The efficiency is gone.

I suggest that Milan is currently facing what Tottenham and Man City faced at a point in the EPL league when they well but performing worst right now. The same thing is the fate of Milan because I never expected Milan to allow a draw match between them and waste 3 solid points that would have made them close more than now. What I was not really expecting was Sportiva Salernitana winning over the Milan and thank God that did not happen.

A fan said AC Milan is just like Manchester United of the European Premier League in that if you're not disappointed by the world, they will make sure that they disappoint you. But of course it is unfortunate and the Milan guys needs to wake up and warm up more like seriously because they can not claim the trophy with these poor performances when you have the likes of Inter and Juventus already on top.

There is no doubt we are having troubling season for the few top teams with mostly are doing their best for recovery and having better time in second half of this season right now Lazio is having good recovery and from relegation zone to jump into top 10 is good with few top sides are badly going down and having no chance for the recovery this is surely the biggest concern for them with AC Milan, Roma and Napoli fail to give their best and having lost of points with inconsistency is also doing his part as well.

AC Milan which was at the best suddenly doing poor and Napoli which is defending champions are never been good in this season with their change of coach is surely hurting them badly, and they completely fail to come out of this poor run quality is also going down for the few teams which is needed a good investment for the quality players.

[TastyChillySauce00]

But about Napoli, if Napoli manage to stay in the top four of course, that result is good enough because yes, just to stay in the top four is a difficult job for Napoli this season. Therefore, if Napoli are able to finish in the top four this season for me it is already a good result, because of course it is difficult for Napoli to defend the title.

It seems that it is difficult for Napoli to defend their title so it is possible that this season they will fail to win the title again and let Juventus and Inter Milan fight for the title this season, Napoli must be able to correct all the mistakes that have been made in several matches with bad results and it's not satisfying for their fans, changing several coaches still doesn't make any better changes, I think Napoli should be able to focus on maintaining their position in the top four, it seems that is their last hope apart from winning the league this season

Realistically, their chances of winning the league this year are quite low. This year, they will fight to finish the league in the top four places without winning the Scudetto again. I interpret this performance in Napoli this year as quite disappointing. At the end of the year, they will probably part ways with most of their players and return to the Napoli image of trying to finish at the top of the league.

Napoli really needs a miracle to make it happen. Im not underestimating it but napoli is still in the worst performance. The competitors looked like very strong club right now. As we can see that from the current standing about how napoli was unable to show perfect performance like last season. Im also concerned about the performance from napoli. The club being very inconsistent and it's also hlping its competitor to make the gap to be even bigger than before. Im very happy to see old lady and intermilan are the strongest candidate right now.
One of them deserves to win the scudetto this season. Im also aware about how intermilan becomes even more consistent than before. Napoli needs to learn from the previous games caused by the performance from osimhen and kvarat were really under perform this season.
They were not bad players but they are not in the good shapes. As you can see how napoli was still.trying so hard to defend trophy but the chance is pretty small for it to happen. Napoli has changed its coach and the club needs adapted to the new coach.
Mazzarri is not that good but since he was napoli's coach and the players shall have followed what he has been ordered to the players.

On this Saturday there is a really attracting game between Roma and Napoli. The game is in Rome so it can be seen as an advantage for Roma. However I wouldn't trust Roma much for this game honestly. Because I don't like their recent performances in the league. Probably Mourinho will choose a cautious game plan against Napoli.

This is the classic Mourinho in big games in the end.    Napoli are even better at scoring now as Osimhen is back. He will be their key player against Roma surely. I think both teams will score and Napoli will manage to win the game by a gap of one goal.

Today we are going to have few big competitions with mostly talked is Roma vs Napoli which is important for the both teams as both are doing poor into their last few games and having few chances for improvement and staying at the better level in Italian league Roma was having good start but now suddenly they are on back foot and losing points consistently now it's a test case for the José Mourinho can he bring back some positive, or they have to stay without any good future in this league.

Napoli is also after winning title fail to produce anything good and now badly out of the competition even change of coach is also not working for them, and they have been having only 2 wins from their last 5 league games which now bring them to 6th spot and if they fail to produce something from this important game then surely they will be also stayed into poor land.

[Jegileman]

To stay long in the league and be at the top always, you have to be consistent and show good gameplay amongst your competitors. Once you lose that form, you’ll begin to drop rapidly than you did when you were going up. With seven wins, three draws and seven loss, it hasn’t speak well of a club like Lazio. They are currently on 9th position on the table. As the league is getting more intense, they need to improve in their play in order to have a space to finish at the top table with other big teams before the end of the season.

[dezoel]

It could be said that Spalleti is a more suitable coach for Napoli but unfortunately Spalleti couldn't stay at Napoli for a long time. Maybe if Spalleti was still at the Napoli club it seems like Napoli is still in stable performance even though it won't be easy to defend the title but at least Napoli might not experience a decline like this season and may not experience so many difficulties because Spalleti can create a strategy that suits the Napoli players. However, unfortunately Spalleti left and the coach who replaced him has not been able to provide significant improvements.

Yes, currently Napoli is struggling to occupy the top 4 position so that next season Napoli can compete again in the Champions League but it seems that Napoli is having difficulty reaching the top 4 with its unstable performance while Fiorentina and Bologna are also try hard to enter the same ranking, we'll see just whether Napoli can occupy the top 4 position with his current condition, maybe if Napoli is able to improve the team's performance and appear more impressive, Napoli still has a chance to occupy the top 4 position this season.

Even I have to be agreed with you about this all but still this all is imagination because there is no doubt Spalleti done impressive job and achieve title after years with the leaves this job on high note and now doing Italian national duty, but we can be having same things with him which are hurting Napoli, and now they are down with poor performance and inconsistency as well now they are going to face AS Roma which is also badly down and having not fair chance for jumping into top four.

In last five game, Napoli fail to score any goal in three which is surely big problem for them, and they are surely needed to fix this if they want to have some honourable end of this season otherwise look like they could be badly down into this season, and then we will have no positive things for some years again.

They are currently on 9th position on the table. As the league is getting more intense, they need to improve in their play in order to have a space to finish at the top table with other big teams before the end of the season.

In fact, Lazio cannot maintain the best form they showed last season. Because this season Lazio looks like an ordinary club that has never competed at the top. Even though we all know how Lazio was last season, they were even superior to Inter Milan. But what a team really needs to stay at the top of the standings is consistency of play. Apart from that, the coach must be good at rotating players so that the main players can always avoid injury. Because several clubs this season have relied too much on their core players and they continue to play more core players and have injured many of their core players. After that the team's performance became poor because inevitably the coach had to use reserve players to replace the injured core players. This habit is currently widely practiced in many European clubs. Not only in Serie A but also in the Premier League and Laliga. So this season the number of core players injured in various clubs is very large.

Inter Milan is lucky because they have a coach who is very good at rotating players. So Inter Milan can always minimize player injuries. So it is not surprising that this season Inter Milan continues to be in optimal condition.
